1. The Resolution was bogus
First off it was a non-binding resolution, which means there was no way to enforce it short of removing the Iraqi government, second exactly how many German or Japanese soldiers did the US get locked up after WWII.

4. First of all this is NOT a legal war, and we sholdn't be there
but the people who VOTED for THIS were major proponents of this war, and are responsibile for helping get those Americans killed. What right DO THEY have to say that the deaths involving these soldiers should NOT be examined if the people involved should be tried or not.

Doesn't it depend on the circumstances?

8. I was reading
that the wording addressed anyone involved in attacks, not just those who were responsible for fatalities. Can anyone shed light on that distinction?

11.  I casually mentioned this to a freeper at work
this and that some Iraq officials are trying to get amnesty for (only) American killers, and he freaking went ballistic. Worse than I have ever seen.

This should be pounded in over and over and over.

After if the positions were reversed and we had democrats making this vote, do you think the rethugs and their echo chamber would be sitting around going - Well, it doesn't matter it was a non binding vote. Or would they be exploiting it for all its worth?

12. What is their stated rationale for this anyway?
I am trying to wrap my head around this but it's making my brain hurt. Usually when you analyze the things right wingers do, you can usually easily figure out their motives. This one has me stumped.

16. What a bogus issue.
of course there will eventually be a general amnesty for all Iraqis who participated in the inusurgency. You can rant and rail about this and pretend that there is some issue here, but there isn't.

22. The "issue" is that we're still THERE
Of course you'd expect amnesty to be granted by the IRAQI government AFTER we leave. What makes this "special" is that the assholes who got us into this stupid "war" are endorsing amnesty in a foreign country (not our call?) BEFORE bringing our troops home.

How is anyone not getting this?

17. This proves it - we're only in Iraq for the money. And oil.
The fact that they want to give amnesty to the terrorists and it's even come up is unbelievable.

20. Amnesty is a key part of any peace process.We could not possibly
procecute all who took up arms against Americans in Iraq, Now would it be advisible to try since the invasion was illegal to begin with. If we want to support our troops, we should bring them home and quit adding more fuel to the fire in terms of more Falluga type destruction of cities, more civilian murders and more death squads. The US administration is guilty of war crimes and have dragged our armened forces into an immoral, unwinnable genocide.Iraqis who took up arms in self defence should not be punished.

21. well, I agree with them-- shame on YOU for this propoganda....
Edited on Thu Jun-22-06 07:24 PM by mike_c
"...amnesty for terrorists who kill U.S. soldiers." That's shameful. Those are people fighting legitimately against a foreign occupation, and you condemn THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT granting them amnesty for fighting their invaders? You equate them with terrorists? Would you make it a crime to defend your own family from foreign soldiers invading America? Would that be terrorism too?

24. We've just been reverse-psycology'd, I fear.
The thing is, I think that a lot of people here get what you're saying.

"You equate them with terrorists? Would you make it a crime to defend your own family from foreign soldiers invading America? Would that be terrorism too?"

Someone a while back (before amnesty was ever mentioned) started a thread saying how they would take up arms against any occupying force if their child was killed by the occupation. And people started answering in agreement pretty quickly.

The "terrorists who kill U.S. soldiers" are in the White House. If you throw your child into a lion's den and the lion eats your kid, whose fault is it? The lion's? Nope.

Amnesty for terrorists who are trying to kill our soldiers?! Unconscionable.

And I don't give a fuck if they are D or R. They are TS. Terrorist Sympathizers.

Please convince me that I'm in a surreal nightmare. :cry:

26. so now the Iraqi people fighting U.S. occupation are automatically...
...all "terrorists?" By default, all one has to do is defend ones' self against U.S. aggression to become a "terrorist?" I'm shocked to see this neocon logic expressed on DU.
